Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9530069A1] An airfoil (42) for a gas turbine engine (10) having an airfoil portion (52) with a leading and a trailing edge (60, 62) includes dual pressure source cooling. The trailing edge (62) of the airfoil (42) includes an internal trailing edge passage (78) and the leading edge (60) includes an internal leading edge passage (64). Compressor bleed air at higher pressure is channeled through the leading edge passage (64) whereas compressor bleed air at lower pressure is channeled through the trailing edge passage (78). The higher internal pressure in the leading edge (60) ensures that the inward flow of products of combustion does not occur.
